  1. Try answering it without the technically and in the real world where everyone knows they are in cahoots. Why separate and ensure they don't trigger ....

    Play silly beggars if you want ...

    King is not the saviour ... he is not going to pump in a shitload of his own money ... where will it come it from?

    Why would I? I'm spot on in the way i worded it. If LSE thought for a minute they were together then they would have to offer to buy everyones shares. King has other investors lined up, you'll know more about them in the coming months then you can come back and tell me I was right.
  2. Was it a genuine approach, I don't think so?.

    Looked more like a distraction away from the sheer panic to pay that NI bill.

    Who is Sarver connected to...Lethem?. Lethem/Park/Taylor appear more board friendly than David King, but maybe this also served to force Mike Ashley's hand.

    I take it Somers approached Mike Ashley a couple of days ago for another loan and Ashley said no??. Now I doubt now that this has anything to do with the SFA ruling stopping Ashley, he does what wants anyway (the appointment of Barry Leach to the board).

    Maybe Sarver has been around for a while and might even have been involved with those silent American investors that were rumoured to be pulling the strings back during Green's and Stockdale's time at the club???.

    I'm certain it was.

    A disraction away from what? It took the matter of minutes for this to be cleared.

    He's independant and connected to no one, but willing to work with King, Park and co.

    Ashley already had the option of adding two people on the board, he can add another.

    I highly doubt it, you never know though. I'm sure the obsessed will be doing a background check on him as we speak.

  3. Statement re Rangers Football Club

    Further to statement issued by Rangers Int. Football Club Plc ("RIFC") on 5 January 2015, Robert Sarver, the US financier and majority owner of the National Basketball Association franchise Phoenix Suns, confirms that he has made an approach to the Board of RIFC with a view to explore the possibility of purchasing the entire issued share capital of the company. Mr Sarver also notes the deadline of 5.00 p.m., 2 February 2015 in accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeover Code"). Nothing in this announcement constitutes an announcement of a firm intention to make an offer in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code. There can be no certainty that an offer will be made nor as to the terms on which any offer might be made.
    Mr Sarver revealed that it was conversation with former Rangers player, Davie Robertson, now a successful youth football director in Phoenix, Arizona, which first sparked his interest in the club.
    Speaking from Arizona, Mr Sarver said: "My three sons all play soccer, as we call it here in the US, for Davie's club.
    "Initially, I'd had some of my advisors examining potential investments in teams in the English Premier League and in Spain, but Davie encouraged me to take a close look at Rangers.
    "Like all Rangers fans, he's really upset about how far the club has fallen in recent years and the more we spoke, the more interested I became.
    "I'd be the first to admit that I'm not a lifelong Rangers supporter, but anyone who knows me is aware that I'm a genuine sports fanatic and owning two major basketball franchises for the past decade has been an enormous privilege.
    "I've spent the vast majority of my career in public companies and I'm used to working in very highly regulated environments. I understand the crucial importance of business integrity and transparency.
    "Rangers fans have every right to be wary about someone showing an interest in the club they love, especially given some of the events of recent years.
    "First and foremost I believe what the club needs today is a very quick, major injection of capital to stabilise things and I can give the Rangers supporters a categorical assurance that I have the resources and ability to get this club back to its elite level.
    "I'm looking forward to building a consensus amongst supporters and prominent Rangers-minded figures who have the long-term success of the club at heart.
    "I've had detailed research carried out on Rangers and I'm convinced that we could take it back to the top of the Scottish game on a stable and sustainable basis."
    Mr Sarver is a highly-respected CEO of New York Stock Exchange-listed Western Alliance Bancorporation, a $10 billion dollar bank holding company, and also sits on the board of directors of two other major publicly-listed US companies, Meritage Homes and Skywest Airlines.
    He has already provided proof of funds to the Rangers board.
    A high-profile figure in US sports, he purchased a majority ownership in the Phoenix Suns basketball franchise in 2004. During Mr Sarver's tenure the team boasts the fourth-best winning record in the NBA. Women's basketball is also big in the US and, under Mr Sarver's ownership, Phoenix Mercury has won three WNBA titles.
    Former Rangers Football Club player, Davie Robertson, said: "I've known Robert for several years. He has been very supportive of our local club and has a very good reputation in the US.
    "When he said he was looking to invest in football in Europe, I told him right away that Rangers could really be doing with someone with his track record. I explained how far the club has fallen, but that there was huge potential to rebuild it."
    Mr Robertson, who played 245 times for Rangers over six seasons and was part of the side which won nine-in-a-row, continued: "Even though I'm now based over here, I always watch really closely how things are going at Ibrox and it's tragic to see how a club which was once a force in Europe has been brought so low.
    "I can tell every Rangers fan in Scotland and abroad, if Robert Sarver is successful in becoming part of the club, he'll not rest until they are back on top again."

    Sounds promosing indeed, like I said the end game is nigh.

    Ideally King and the three bears will acquire the club this week or next.
